Abstract

The transmission system is backward compatible with a former transmission system (DVB-T), enabling a receiver of the former system to receive signals transmitted by a transmitter of the new transmission system. A new modulation is used to transmit additional information bits corresponding to a new service. The new modulation is specified by a combination of the former modulation with a new-built over modulation.
